      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“When I was younger, having people over was just ‘hanging out.’ But somewhere during my thirties, having people over turned into ‘hosting.’ What’s that about? This isn’t a late night talk show. Why am I ‘hosting’ all of a sudden? It’s just a vocabulary change, but words come with their own baggage. This is one that I think deserves some scrutiny. ‘Hosting’ and ‘entertaining’ are words that fancy lifestyle magazines and HGTV makeover shows use to describe having people over—usually while they’re redesigning a deck or remodeling a den-kitchen combo complete with pool table, twelve-seat sectional, and wet bar. I for one feel a completely different type of energy when I use those words. Entertaining and hosting are words that fill me with a sense of pressure, anxiety, and expectations about how things ‘should’ be. Something about those words robs the focus away from feelings, emotions, and interactions, and puts the focus instead on the structure, style, and execution. Think about it this way. In real life, when you’ve been at a best friend’s house having a heart-to-heart about something that really matters in your life, did you get up and formally thank them for ‘entertaining’ you when it was over? I doubt it. That would probably come off as clinical and transactional.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;ldquo;Google the term dating a sociopath or dating a psychopath. How many articles are you going to find? It&amp;rsquo;s thousands. It&amp;rsquo;s got to be. And you always see people talk about how most sociopaths are in the criminal justice system. I hate that I&amp;rsquo;m a statistic of this, but it&amp;rsquo;s true. Mostly because the likelihood of a psychopath being committed to an institution of one type or another mental health institution, a jail prison, what have you. It&amp;rsquo;s substantially higher than a normal person. And because all psychopaths are sociopaths, they all get lumped together. But additionally, personally speaking, without any professional knowledge on a topic whatsoever. I wonder if some things, some tenants of ASPD are more of a learned behavior than an intrinsic behavior. Because when you look at a, when you look at the, the very end of the spectrum of a psychopath, you look at someone who has zero remorse, someone who does cruel things and doesn&amp;rsquo;t give a **. And then you&amp;rsquo;ve got the opposite and where people have the capacity to care, they just choose not to. Just because someone has the capacity to do something doesn&amp;rsquo;t mean they will. A nuclear bomb has the capacity to level a city, but it doesn&amp;rsquo;t do that unless someone tells it to. And it&amp;rsquo;s much the same way as myself, you know, like I have a, I have an ability to do these. Incredibly bad things and not feel bad about them, but I don&amp;rsquo;t, because I choose not to. And I think it&amp;rsquo;s important to know that, you know, there is the potential to have that choice. And some would argue that the ability to choose means that I&amp;rsquo;m not a true psychopath or sociopath. Perhaps they&amp;rsquo;re right.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
